Jacksquat®

Since the FDA issued final guidance on the declaration of “Added Sugars” on food and beverage labels, brands and formulators have been shocked to find that the “Natural Flavors” component of their clean label declarations suddenly added 1-2 grams of “Added Sugars” that had never previously been claimed. Sugar free products were no longer “Added Sugar” free and low-calorie beverage flavor components were suddenly cast into the spotlight. Historically, maltodextrin and dextrose have been the “go to” carriers on which to plate natural flavors. These carbohydrates are fantastic from a functionality standpoint but at the end of the day, loaded with sugar. The popularity of keto friendly products has taken this “Added Sugar” concern to yet another level as brands supporting the demands of the keto movement has driven formulators to aim for “Zero Net Carbohydrates” in any and all formulations.

Users of FiberSMART® over the years, particularly in the keto space, have asked aloud, “is it possible to plate our natural flavors onto FiberSMART®”?
